According to a local who spoke personally with Cedillo recently, the newly elected councilman is bent on installing bike facilities using local historian Charlie Fisher’s ridiculous “alternative route” (with no less than two wrong-way on a one-way street segments and $500,000 extra for traffic signals – hey, maybe the LA River money is going to pay for that!).

My personal talks with his district office staff in late 2013 revealed both a windshield perspective in his office (i.e. nearly everyone on his staff is a solo car commuter and has trouble seeing LA as a transit user, pedestrian, or cyclist) and an intention to hold community meetings, maybe, in the future on the pre-approved project.

You see, the bike lanes are legally approved by a vote of the city council. The money is allocated for their installation. The LADOT bikeways division is likely still working on the line drawings for it’s road striping crew to follow and then plug into their re-striping calender.
